We don't even have a : native Netscape build for 4-STABLE yet :-). I think it is fine to assert : that no new feature development is occuring there, however. According to the security officer's long standing policy, we don't commit to support the old stale branch after we've had two releases on the new stable branch. This doesn't mean that we prevent people from contributing to it, just that we don't have resources to do so.
